Jamie Lee Curtis Will Return For Reboot Of "Halloween" In 2018

16/09/2017

This is something of a shock, considering that Laurie Strode was killed off in the opening scenes of 2002's poorly received Halloween: Resurrection, the last of the original Halloween series before the two Rob Zombie-helmed Halloween reboots. Blumhouse announced today that Jamie Lee Curtis will return to the revival of Halloween as the iconic Laurie Strode. But it's also a very strong statement to everyone that that while this new Halloween is a reboot, it's also a sequel.

Although it has been 15 years since Curtis's last Halloween film, she hasn't been a stranger to horror.

Well, it sure is a freaky Friday. We're not entirely sure what "same issues" means, given that she's 40 years older and no longer a baby-sitting teenager, but we're willing to give it a shot at least. John Carpenter, director of the original, will executive produce with an eye to compose the score.

Universal Pictures will release the new movie, which is said to be a direct sequel to 1981's Halloween II, which also starred Curtis, on October 19, 2018. Malek Akkad will produce for Trancas with Jason Blum for Blumhouse. And yes, she'll be reprising the iconic role of Laurie Strode.
